Budget surplus highest in years

SCHOOL DISTRICT sees $3.2 million at end of 2011-12. BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Ennis Mond, fire prevention officer with Nanaimo Fire Rescue, starts his investigation Wednesday into a fire that gutted the interior of a vacant house on Northfield Road late Tuesday.
Cause unclear in fire that gutted house BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Fire Rescue is puzzling out the cause of a fire that gutted a vacant house Tuesday. Firefighters found the interior of the house at 2021 Northfield Rd. fully engulfed in flames when they arrived at about 11 p.m. Ennis Mond, fire prevention officer, who was investigating the scene Wednesday morning, said
no one was in the house when firefighters arrived and no one was injured. The fire appeared, upon initial inspection, to have started in a central room of the home, but no cause had been determined. Mond estimated the house to be about 80 to 100 years old. The house was scheduled for demolition and is located in an area planned for redevelopment. A rezoning application notice, to

change the property from single dwelling residential to row housing, is posted in the home’s front yard. Mond said the house has been vacant for at least one year and was being looked after by a trust company, but electricity was still supplied to the building prior to the fire. He did not know when the trust company last inspected the property. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
It was the year of the growing surplus for Nanaimo school district last year. The district ended the 201112 year with a $3.2-million surplus – up from the $2.8-million surplus predicted last May, the $2.3 million expected earlier in the spring, and the $900,000 forecast last October. It is the highest surplus the district has had looking back 12 years, said Phil Turin, secretary-treasurer. He credits tight controls on spending, savings due to teacher job action and the funding protection grant, which ensured the district received the same amount in its operating budget as the previous year despite declining enrolment, for the higher-than-normal surplus. Trustees approved the district’s 2011-12 audited financial statements with the final numbers at a special board meeting last week. Turin said the growth of $400,000 in the surplus funds, which happened between his last forecast at the end of May and now, is mainly due to extra and unanticipated provincial funding for the district’s distance learning students, adding that his forecasted surplus in May was conservative.

Of the $3.2-million surplus, $1.6 million was set aside last spring to balance this year’s budget and another $1.16 million of the surplus is money restricted for specific expenditures such as school supplies, community schools and communications. The unrestricted operating surplus is $480,000, which Turin hopes to put toward next year’s budget, as last spring he predicted a budget shortfall of about $2.1 million for the 201314 school year. “Hopefully we can put it in the cupboard for a bit,” he said. “The funding protection is going to go away gradually and enrolment is not going up, so we’ve got to face those issues.” For the past 12 years, the district has ended every year but one with a surplus and the average year-end surplus over that time period is $1.3 million, Turin added. Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the district has been able to improve the classroom situation to some extent – officials are trying to keep all classrooms at 30 students or less this year. The surplus also meant other improvements, he added. Last June, the board earmarked $174,000 for technology upgrades and $72,000 to buy 12 automatic floor scrubbers. But with funding protection on the decline, Turin cautioned trustees not to expect the situation to remain as it is now, Brennan said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief Public gets first glimpse of new ER BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s new emergency wing opened its doors to an official grand opening ceremony and tours Monday. The $36.9-million project is a 3,082 square-metre expansion, tripling the size of the hospital’s old emergency department to meet the demands of a population on central Vancouver Island that is growing and aging. NRGH has the busiest emergency department on the Island. The new wing replaces an overworked and overcrowded emergency room – originally designed to handle 15,000 patients a year, but currently handles more than 57,000 patients annually – and includes psychiatric emergency services and a psychiatric intensive care unit. Architectural and technical innovations include green building elements such as automated window shading, radiant panel heating and direct digital temperature control. Natural lighting through windows, skylights and courtyards built into the structure saves

Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation has raised $3 million of a $4-million pledge to purchase life-saving equipment for the new wing. Construction costs were covered by a $19.7-million contribution from the provincial government, plus $13.2 million from the Regional District of Nanaimo.

Judge sentences Kozak to life in prison for killing three people BY KRISTEN DOUGLAS BLACK PRESS
A Campbell River killer was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 23 years for the second-degree murders of two men. Darcy Kozak was sentenced by Justice James Williams in Victoria B.C. Supreme Court on Friday for killing Kenneth Robinson, a 45-year-old homeless man from Nanaimo and Kenneth Allan Leask, 44, from Powell River. Kozak was also handed an 11-year concurrent sentence for the murder of Campbell River’s Luc Dulude whom Kozak met while in jail. Kozak, 40, had already pleaded guilty Aug. 30 to two counts of second degree murder and one count
of manslaughter in Dulude’s death. He was originally facing three counts of first degree murder. A three-month long trial in B.C. Supreme Court was avoided with Kozak’s guilty pleas. During sentencing, the court heard how Kozak tortured his victims before killing them. Kozak confined, stabbed, burned and beat Robinson in a trailer near Shawnigan Lake in May 2007. Robinson was then left to die under a tarp, as revenge for allegedly stealing Kozak’s truck. One year later, Kozak, who was angered by Leask spending $5,000 he was given to start a marijuana grow-op, hung Leask upside down and beat him over a period of several days before smothering him with a plastic bag. His body was

dumped in the ocean off of Campbell River. Dulude’s body was found in December 2008 in an abandoned commercial building – a former bakery owned by a company of Janice Bridges, Kozak’s girlfriend – in Willow Point. Dulude was a career criminal who moved to Campbell River from Kamloops in August 2008 after being released from prison following his sixth robbery conviction. In the fall of 2008, Dulude was shot in the abdomen by a friend of Kozak’s in a garage in Campbell River. He was wrapped in plastic still alive and his body was put into the back of a pickup truck. One week after Dulude’s body was found, Kozak was discovered

in a Campbell River motel room in possession of a loaded handgun. He was arrested, charged with weapons offences and later served 30 days in jail after coming up with a plea agreement. In June 2007, Kozak led police on a wild chase near Victoria which resulted in eight accidents. Kozak pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from that incident and received one year in jail, but was given credit for pretrial custody of seven-and-a-half months. In Friday’s sentencing, Justice Williams set parole at 23 years because he took into account Kozak’s guilty pleas which allowed the families to avoid testifying during a court case. – With files from Paul Rudan editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, had his work cut out for him when he showed up a the office Monday morning to find eight fires over the weekend waiting to be investigated. All fires appeared to be human-caused and minor, except for a car fire that started shortly before 7 a.m. Monday on the 100 block of O’Hara Place. Mond deemed the fire suspicious. “I’m quite confident somebody set the fire,” Mond said. Firefighters responded to four fires Saturday night. The first was in a trash can on the 3000 block of Barons Road shortly after 6 p.m., which was chalked up to poorly discarded smoking materials. The second blaze was a brush fire that ignited on the 2200 block of Boxwood Road at about 10 p.m. It was possibly sparked by a transient person camping in the area, Mond said. Two fires near the E&N Trail happened a few hours later. One on the 300 block of Cypress Street started shortly after 10 p.m. when someone allegedly lit a jacket on fire. A third fire on the 800 block of St. Andrews Street happened at about the same time when cardboard boxes were set alight on the road. Mond is looking at the possibility one person lit both fires. Shortly before 2 a.m. Monday a tire was lit on fire on the road in the 800 block of Georgia Avenue. Two fires in planters Monday morning were attributed to careless smokers.

energy, speeds healing and provides a calming setting for patients and their families. B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid, who presided over the emergency wing’s opening, praised the facility and the province’s funding toward the project, but placed equal importance on the people who will staff the department, many of who were inside practising emergency scenarios and taking part in orientation sessions as she spoke. “We think of doctors and nurses, but there are so many other people involved in the care of patients, each and every one of them bringing their skill and their compassion,” MacDiarmid said. “When you come through the doors of this hospital into the emergency department and you’re at your most vulnerable and your needs are greatest, to know that you can look into the eyes of the people who work here and you can see they care about you, they’re compassionate and they’re skilled, that they are coming in and they know what they’re doing. It gives somebody confidence and helps them to feel better.” Opening ceremonies were followed by tours for dignitaries, local and provincial government representatives, staff from other hospital departments, the public and media throughout the day.

2007 that was meant to be a permanent filler for wrinkles and other facial imperfections. In May 2006, Logan had the product injected into her face and about six months later, she reported developing lumps on her face. Her doctor tried to fix the problem with painful steroid injections to no avail and she has small bumps and red scars running along her lip, cheek and nose. Her lawyer, David Rosenberg, said about 60 patients who were injected with Dermalive have signed on to the class action so far. He said the case will go to trial starting on Feb. 25 and the hearing is scheduled to last 10 days. In the meantime, Rosenberg said the details on how to give appropriate notice to potential class members are still before the courts. Rosenberg said Dermalive’s maker, France-based Dermatech, went bankrupt and the ongoing litigation is against Intradermal Distribution Inc. and Vivier Pharma Inc., Canadian companies Logan’s suit alleges imported and distributed the product as a joint enterprise. John Vamplew, a Vancouver lawyer representing Intradermal and Vivier Pharma, had no comment for the media about the case.

Jersey day raises money for youth sports program It might be the only time this year you’ll see an NHL jersey. But a lockout won’t stop staff at Black Press from donning their favourite jerseys in support of youth sports programs on Sept. 28. Taking a cue from the successful Jeans Day campaigns, Black Press staff, which includes employees from across Vancouver Island and the Nanaimo News Bulletin, will donate $2 for the priviledge of wearing a jersey from their favourite sports team. The company invites the community to take part, donning jerseys from hockey, football, baseball and more. Nanaimo Clippers and V.I. Raiders jerseys – even the junior B hockey expansion team Nanaimo Buccaneers – are fair game. People and businesses participating can also share photos of their jersey day on our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/nanaimobulletin. Money collected will be donated to KidSport, a community based sport-funding program that provides grants for children ages 18 and under to participate in a sport season of their choice.

TWO EVENTS raise awareness about value forests have in reducing carbon footprint in city.
BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
Forests are often referred to as the lungs of the world. “Trees are our carbon sinks,” said Gail Adrienne, executive director of the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust. “Every time you plant a tree in the ground you create more biodiversity for animals and are improving air quality.”
This Saturday (Sept. 22) those lungs will gain strength in numbers as 50 volunteers plant about 250 trees and shrubs in the Third Street area to celebrate the autumnal equinox. Adrienne said volunteers will also remove invasive species, replacing it with native plants such as broadleaf maple, salmonberry, thimbleberry and others. The planting event is
a partnership between NALT, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Evergreen Canada and is occurring in more than 135 communities across the country. TD Friends has a goal of planting 40,000 trees this year with the help of community partners. “ We u n d e r s t a n d reforestation is important. As a bank we use paper but we’re conscious of it and know as a bank we are using resources in the environment,” said Mandip Kharod, regional manager for the Pacific and

That all changed in a hurry Saturday through the efforts of the community and the second annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive. Organized in Nanaimo by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the one-day drive produced 12,700 kilograms of food worth more than $68,000. More than 220 volunteers helped deliver paper grocery bags to 10,000 Nanaimo homes Sept. 9-10, collect the bags with non-perishable food items Saturday and then sort and deliver it to Loaves and Fishes. “We had a 32-foot semi-trailer and they filled it one and half times with 24 pallets of food,” said Peter Sinclair, Loaves and Fishes executive director. “Our warehouse was pretty much empty and now it’s completely full. Clients coming into the food bank today are getting substantially more food than
they have been getting and its good-quality food.” Bob D’Lerma, food drive chairman, said the support from the community and businesses and the response from the residents was great. “Everybody in the church got onboard, volunteers helped out from the community … it’s all very humbling,” he said. “We’re already getting calls from individuals and businesses asking how to get involved next year.” Sinclair said the food drive has given Loaves and Fishes a buffer they can dip into if they have a lower week of donations. “This, combined with the donations that keep coming in, should get us comfortably through to Christmas,” he said. “The fact of the matter is the last eight weeks we have been scraping bottom, and to have $68,000 worth of food come in – and all sorted – was quite astounding. They did a fantastic job. They pulled all that enthusiasm and focused it for one day and the results really speak for themselves.” Last year’s drive saw grocery bags delivered to 5,400 households in the city with 7,200 kg

of food returned. D’Lerma said the goal is to double what they do every year until they reach every house in Nanaimo.
“We’re quickly outgrowing our space, but that’s a good problem,” he said. “We’re already looking for a larger venue for next year.”

United Way director connects donors with those in need BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
The new executive director of the United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island will be a familiar face for many of the organizations the agency helps. Signy Madden, who started work at United Way full-time two weeks ago, has spent the past 15 years working with Island nonprofit organizations, helping groups with fundraising campaigns, communication plans and strategic planning. As a partner of Clayton Consulting, she helped numerous Nanaimo charities over the years, including St. John Ambulance Society, the Bethlehem Retreat Centre, Nanaimo Community Hospice Society and Haven Society. “Half the agencies we fund, I’ve had some dealing with,” said Madden. “It’s just a different hat I’m wearing now.” Before working as a consultant on the Island, Madden, originally from Ontario, lived in Vancouver for about five years, working as executive director of Option Youth Society and general manager of the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. The move to the Island occurred when she and husband George Hanson, also a principal of Clayton Consulting, started thinking about raising a family.
“ SIGNEY MADDEN
We can connect donors with solving problems in our community and to me, there isn’t anything better than that.
The Port Theatre had just been built and Madden was impressed that the community ran such a successful fundraising campaign. “I thought a community that had that vision, that could build that kind of facility, would be a good place to put down roots,’” she said. “This community is supportive of making a change, making a difference.” Madden is also on the NanaimoLadysmith Schools Foundation’s board of directors, a member of the education committee for the Vancouver Island Association of Fundraising Professionals and is
a certified fundraising executive. When the United Way job cropped up, Madden went for it because of the major impact the organization has on the community and how many organizations are touched by it. “I thought this would be a great place to help the community,” she said. “We raise about $1 million here in central and north Vancouver Island.” About $700,000 was raised last year in the central Island, which includes Ladysmith, Nanaimo and the Parksville regions. With that money, the United Way supports the charitable work
of more than 20 central Island agencies. Madden’s goal is to increase the amount of money raised annually to narrow the gap between funding requests and the amount the agency is able to dole out – the United Way received about $1 million in requests last year. “After working with many charities across the Island, I became familiar with the serious issues our community is facing,” she said. “There’s a great deal of need and a lot of agencies don’t have the ability to do fundraisers. We can connect donors with solving problems in our community and to me, there isn’t anything better than that.” Madden is also committed to helping the United Way take on more leadership opportunities, helping to create partnerships between agencies and enabling charities to become more efficient. “There’s so much more the United Way can do other than raising the money and giving it out,” she said. Don Bonner, president of United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island, said in an e-mailed response that Madden has the leadership skills and passion to take the agency to a new level of meaningful community engagement, impact and leadership.

EDITORIAL
Food bank aid must continue The Nanaimo Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints proved it takes a community to feed a community with its efforts during the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive. The church helped organize hundreds of its own volunteers, other Nanaimo residents and Island businesses in a campaign to help fill the shelves at Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank. From distributing donated paper grocery bags to 10,000 homes around the city and collecting them filled with non-perishable items a week later, to sorting the food and delivering it to Loaves and Fishes, the campaign ran like a well-oiled machine. The effort paid off with 12,700 kilograms of food now filling the food bank’s warehouse. That number proves residents are willing to give generously, but it takes some organization. The food bank makes it as easy as possible for individuals to give with drop off locations throughout the city and grocery stores often have complete meal packages available for purchase. All it takes is a little effort to help someone in need. Yet, it doesn’t always happen that way. This summer was a prime example of how the food bank and its clients suffered from a lack of donations. Although $68,000 of donated food has filled the shelves of the food bank, don’t for a second think the crisis is over. Loaves and Fishes goes through $40,000 worth of food every month, so all the drive has done is create a muchappreciated buffer to get through until Christmas when people’s minds once again turn to giving to the less fortunate. The community needs to continue giving, but now it’s up to individuals to come through. Efforts like the one by the Latter Day Saints take months to prepare and the food bank hasn’t got that much time.

Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands, but agreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement. This is a major breakthrough, not just in the industrial development of northern B.C., but in dismantling the century-old logjam of aboriginal resource claims. At the centre of Premier Christy Clark’s much-promoted jobs plan is the target of having three LNG export terminals and associated pipelines in production by 2020.

Co-operation would lead to more co-operatives BY ROB DOUGLAS
The United Nations has declared 2012 the International Year of Co-operatives. Across the globe more and more people are becoming aware of this alternative model that could radically transform our local economies. Co-ops extend democracy beyond the political realm to the economy, shifting decision-making power from absentee corporations to members of the community. They differ from other business models, as the members of the co-op
own and democratically control the enterprise. In all co-ops, one member has one vote. Contrast this to big corporations, where a single investor may own enough shares to control the entire organization. Many co-ops are owned by their consumers, as is the case with our credit unions and gas co-ops. Others are owned and operated by the people who work for them. The worker co-op is widespread in many parts of the world, and can be applied to any sector of the economy.
Co-ops are also established by farmers, artisans and business people to process and market their products. Co-ops continue to be an important part of the economy, with successful credit unions and gas co-ops being good examples. The question is this: why shouldn’t co-ops take on a bigger role in the economy and expand to other sectors? In many parts of the world, co-ops have already pushed aside the multi-national corpora-
tion as the dominant model in some parts of the economy, and workers and communities have benefitted. In EmiliaRomagna, Italy, one of Europe’s wealthiest and most stable regions, coops account for approximately 40 per cent of the regional economy. The Emilian co-ops work closely with small businesses in the region, and play a key role in a range of sectors including retail, construction, agricultural production, housing, manufacturing,

and social services. Spain is in a severe recession, yet the Mondragon Corporation, a network of 250 worker co-ops based in the Basque region, has defied the slump, avoiding any job losses at a time when the national unemployment rate hovers at 25 per cent. Owned and controlled by its 43,000 workerowners, the Mondragon Corporation has long been an important player in Spain’s manufacturing, retail and finance sectors, continuing to produce as other compa-
nies curtail operations and layoff workers. With so many of us disillusioned with the power and influence big corporations and wealthy elites have over our society, now is as good of a time as any for co-ops to take on a bigger role in our local economies. In doing so, we can shift the balance of power down to the community level, where it belongs. ◆ Rob Douglas writes a monthly column for the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial, a Black Press newspaper.
rather patronizing, attempt at justification. We really don’t need a new graphic identity to make us realize that education is important, and it will do nothing to improve student performance. If anything, spending $25,000 on a logo when it could be better spent elsewhere is detrimental. That money could be devoted to teaching aids, school trips, scholarships, etc., all of which have a direct bearing on learning and educational success. Moreover, no sensible argument has been presented for the name change. While Reimer may feel that the designation School District 68 really doesn’t mean anything, it fits in with the usage of other school districts and embodies a measure of local history and tradition.

Readers respond: Feedback on news items Designing a logo not an easy task To the Editor, Re: Parents angry over logo cost, Sept. 18. Reactive responses to the cost of business services are often a consequence of insufficient information. As with many business services, it is important to know what is involved to appreciate the costs for professional service. If you check out Ion Branding and Design, you will see they are a first rate Canadian design firm with extensive and muchawarded experience in the field of graphic identity design. In any qualified design firm, the design of an identity involves not just spitting out a one-off logo but a careful, thoughtful process of analysis and implementation. While I haven’t seen the request for proposal specifications for School District 68, typically a logo design requires a needs and scope assessment, a collection and review of existing identity materials, and identification of all past, present and future uses of the logo. The designers will consult with the client and design an overall identity look, and a method for how a logo and typography will be applied to applications such as letterhead, signage, vehicles, websites, forms, brochures, uniforms, school property and so on. Then a designer has to create artwork and detailed specifications and measurements for: set up for the various applications described; for usage and printing; for layout grids, typefaces and colour codes; and a
guide manual. A logo design is more complicated than one might think. In order to be done properly and especially to minimize future costs a careful process is required. Sounds to me like the trustees are acting with integrity and hiring qualified experts to provide a lasting usable identity. K. Hodgson retired design teacher Gabriola Island
Plans for identity don’t assist kids To the Editor, Re: Parents angry over logo cost, Sept. 18. Thank you for publishing the district branding decision that was made by the school board and trustees. I need to add my voice to the outcry. I think the first thing the school board and the trustees should think about before they spend any money whatsoever on anything is how does this directly affect the children in a positive way. They need to hear from us as parents on our extreme dissatisfaction on wasteful spending. This logo could be designed for free by a student. It could be a contest and a local company could choose the winner. There isn’t any need to employ an expensive Vancouver company. The schools in Nanaimo are not a big corporation. We are a community. It would mean so much more to us to spend the money on artists in the schools, or books for the libraries, or just about anything that would actually benefit the kids directly. I think there are too

many trustees, and positions in the school board that are useless in regards to directly making our children’s education more meaningful. I’d rather the principals were able to hire people who are experts in math or science or art or literature to come in and engage the children in workshops where they actually do something and, heaven forbid, learn. The $24,000 would go a really long way in this. I also think the board could do as good a job with six trustees instead of nine. The money saved on salaries could go to the classrooms for supplies or classes in visual arts and drama, both of which are sorely lacking within the current curriculum. We are a lovely community in Nanaimo. Let’s all band together and make some changes that will be good for our children, and not support the ridiculous bureaucracy that the school board and the trustees have become. Valentina Cardinalli Nanaimo
Voters can deal with logo issue To the Editor, Re: Parents angry over logo cost, Sept. 18. If money is being spent foolishly by foolishlyelected officials, the public should spend more time and attention to who it elects as its board of trustees.
We have to have a say in Nanaimo’s welfare when it comes to the future of our children. Too much money is being spent on frivolous issues in Nanaimo and being given to outsiders. We have talent in Nanaimo, let’s use it. But until the public takes a more responsible stand in Nanaimo, we will always be nothing but a complaining city with no results – as the past has shown. More attention has to be given to voting. We just can’t just elect the last person that was in because we do not have the time to check out qualifications. Take the time to seek out the best person for the job, whether it be school board or municipal – both are the future of Nanaimo and voters should take the time to realize that. Dave Noble Nanaimo
No good reason for name change To the Editor, Re: Parents angry over logo cost, Sept. 18. According to school district spokeswoman, Donna Reimer, officials are working to focus the entire district on improving student learning, and the new graphic identity is one small way to signal to stakeholders and the public the importance of that vision. This is a feeble, and
Large portions are problematic To the Editor, Re: Lineups attest to people re-discoverin artisan bread, Food Matters, Sept 15. As a registered dietitian who has provided consultation to countless clients with gastro-intestinal distress, I wanted to commend Stewart for her excellent perspective, as always, on the growing prevalence of gluten intolerance. Although celiac disease and genuine glutenintolerance exist for many, for others “intolerance” to wheat or grains can indeed be the result of an excess intake of overly processed grain foods that lack fibre and/or are too
Public’s priorities ignore our hungry To the Editor, It seems so ironic – Apple brought out its latest version of an expensive communication device, and we volunteers at the food bank had the unfortunate task of telling clients that the food bank hasn’t got the funds to provide milk at least for the foreseeable future. What is the message here? Society can afford unlimited versions of technological wonders but can’t spare the funds for milk for poor people? And the provincial government that trumpets “families first” doesn’t donate a dime, ever. But it is very fast to refer needy clients to our services. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

against any cell with a genetic makeup different from our own (which is why it’s so difficult to transplant organs, tissues, or cells). Yet, pregnant women support a fetus that is genetically different for nine months. Thanks to evolution, our bodies have powerful ways to ward off illness and infection and enable us to live long and healthy lives. Why, then, do health costs continue to climb at unsustainable and frightening rates? Part of it is that medical care has become so sophisticated that doctors are able to treat more problems. Another part is the ever-increasing cost of drugs. And with a medical system, people are more likely to seek help. Still, health-care costs can’t continue to rise forever. Governments are always looking for ways to reduce costs, often by offloading a greater share of the burden onto patients. We must pay greater attention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are making it difficult for our defences to work. We allow things to
be sold that should not be called food. Many have no nutritive value and lead to obesity, salt imbalance and allergies. We spew chemicals into the environment by the millions of tonnes. Molecules pour into us through air, water and food, overwhelming or weakening our protective immune systems. According to Harvard University doctors Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein, “Our behaviour is the result of a basic failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable part of nature and that we cannot damage it severely without severely damaging ourselves.” The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many more problems are though healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move, yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work. In 2007, the World Health Organization concluded that environmental factors
contribute to 36,000 deaths and 13 per cent of the disease burden in Canada annually. The Canadian Medical Association claims air pollution causes more than 20,000 premature deaths a year. Author and environmental lawyer David R. Boyd, scientists estimate environmental factors affecting heart and respiratory disease, cancer and birth problems contribute to anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 deaths, 78,000 to 194,000 hospitalizations, 600,000 to 1.5 million days in hospitals, and other problems totalling $3.6 billion to $9.1 billion in direct and indirect costs each year. It’s more effective and cheaper to let bodies fight off disease and infections than to weaken those defence mechanisms and then compensate for them medically. If we want a stable health system, we must put more resources into reducing pollution and environmental degradation and creating a way of life that keeps bodies and minds happy and in good health. www.davidsuzuki.org.

elements such as cob, light clay, straw, earthen floors and countertops, clay and lime plasters, locally milled timbers, and reclaimed materials. The home also features composting toilets, triple-glazed fibreglass windows, superinsulated walls, green (planted) roofs, and a system for grey water reuse. The home is partially heated by passive solar energy thanks to south facing windows and interior mass from the floors and cob walls, and a rooftop solar hot water unit supplements a tankless electric ondemand water heater. A sloped area south of the house will soon be home to a perennial forest garden. In downtown Nanaimo’s south end, the second home on the tour provides the opportunity to view a home in mid-construction. The project features a roof and exterior walls constructed with structural insulated panels. These energy-efficient, cost-effective panels contribute to maximum insulation values and seismic structural requirements, and are made from insulated foam core sandwiched between two structural boards. The home was designed with the goal of achieving Built Green Platinum designation and minimal operating cost. It’s an open concept with two storeys, a walk-out basement, and a garden nourished by harvested rainwater. The final home on the tour is a craftsman bungalow in Nanaimo, custom-designed by Pheasant Hill Homes. This home was designed to allow its owners to age in place comfortably with minimal utility fees. The property incorporates increased air tightness, a heat recovery ventilator and added insulation. The house achieved an EnerGuide Rating of 82 and is on track to earn its Built Green Platinum certification. Low maintenance features, accessibility and the desire for an uncomplicated lifestyle influenced the finishing of

Sustainability, energy ef ficiency, creativity and beauty were natural home designer Cindy McCaugherty’s goals when she created her raincoast home on Gabriola Island. Situated on a threehectare lot with a .10-hectare fenced food garden, the raincoast home is one of three innovative residences featured in the Regional District of Nanaimo’s Green Building Open House Tours Sunday (Sept. 23). The event provides an opportunity for residents to tour properties constructed to have minimal impact on the environment, and to ask questions about the various ‘green’ elements used for each project. “Our aim with the [tours] is to allow residents to learn firsthand how sustainability measures are being incor porated into new construction and renovation projects in our region,” said RDN chair man Joe Stanhope. “By showcasing these fine examples of green building, we are providing an opportunity for people to learn about new, more environmentally-friendly ways to approach construction and renovation projects.” This is the third year the RDN has organized tours to demonstrate the many ways that green features can be incorporated into the construction process. The district is also offering a Green Building Speaker Series in September and October. It also encourages residents to reduce water and energy use on their properties by offering a number of rebates through the green building incentive program and the drinking water and watershed protection program. Once McCaugherty finalized the design for the raincoast home, she and her husband, Bill, did most of the handson work to complete its construction. To achieve their goals, they used a combination of traditional and alternative construction methods and included
this energy-efficient home. The Green Building Open House tours take place from 1-4 p.m. All of the tours are free, but space is limited and registration is required. To register, please call 1-888-828-2069. Addresses of the homes will be provided upon registration. For more about the tours, the Green Building Speaker Series, or other programs, please e-mail sustainability@ rdn.bc.ca or call 250390-6506.

TTeens speak up about dementia
Dementia affects more than 70,000 British Columbians, but if nothing changes by 2038 – when today’s 19-year-old turns 45 – more than 177,000 people in the province will be living with dementia. That means today’s teenagers may be forced to bear the brunt of the disease’s projected social and economic impact. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there is hope. Teens and young adults connected with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. are joining together in September during World Alzheimer’s Month in an effort to show British Columbians that Alzheimer’s disease isn’t just “an old person’s disease” – it’s a cause that impacts everyone. “We need to raise awareness and help find a cure,” said Jessa Broeren of Victoria. The 13-year-old is one of many young people in B.C. who have been personally impacted by dementia, and are now leading the charge for a cure. “Everything you
can do, even if it’s just raising money, gets us that much closer to a cure,” she said. British Columbians can join Broeren and other young people lending support to the campaign this month by visiting the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/AlzheimerBC to click, like and share to raise awareness. Audiences can listen to and share the campaign anthem, “I Will Remind You” by Canadian musicians Brian Asselin and Eric Disero, about the impact of dementia on younger generations in a family. Fans can read the stories of young people working with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. toward a world without Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and will have an opportunity to share their personal story. The B.C. Facebook campaign is being conducted as part of a global awareness initiative, World Alzheimer’s Month, when Alzheimer societies and associations around the world will be working to fight the stigma of dementia.

From Walt Disney World in Florida to kayaking the Salish Sea, Vancouver Island University students had a busy summer thanks to co-operative education. Diane Awad spent the summer working toward her hospitality management degree by keeping things magical for visitors to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café at Disney World, and tourism management student Alyssa Deggan took to the waters of the Salish Sea where she used her newly acquired skills to guide paddlers for Pender Island Kayak Adventures. The two are among the fourthyear students in the recreation and sport management and tourism studies and hospitality management programs to share their workplace experiences at VIU’s faculty of management Co-operative Education Symposium on Friday (Sept. 21). Awad put in a three-month
stint at one of the world’s largest quick-service restaurants, and while she didn’t earn a lot of money for her time behind the counter, it was a rewarding experience. “It’s very helpful to be able to apply things we’ve learned to a job – all those little management things and business concepts,” she said. Deggan, who grew up in Ladysmith and had limited kayaking experience, needed to prepare quickly for her co-op job. “I was on a study abroad program in Mexico in March when I was contacted about the opportunity,” she said. “I came home in April, took a five-day intensive kayak guide training course in May and started work in June.” Over the past year, 186 VIU students participated in cooperative education work with participants hired locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

The ‘terrible business’ of war Antony Holland looks to his own memories and experiences for his new one-man play, which opens the season for Western Edge Theatre BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
R
eturning soldiers from the Second World War rarely spoke about the ordeals they faced during their tour of duty. Actor Antony Holland was one of those soldiers. It was years later when he finally shared some experiences with a few close friends. It wasn’t until he came across an anthology of poems, Middle East AntholM ogy, edited by Erik Mauny, one of the men he served with overseas, that he decided to share his experiences with a larger audience and created a one-man play. The poems were written by men he fought with during the war. He said they laid bare the “terrible business” of war.
“It affected me. All these memories came flooding back,” said Holland. “These poems expressed feelings we never, never discussed.” Holland shares his experiences serving in Egypt and Libya during the Second World War in his one-man play, One Man in His Time, at Nanaimo’s Western Edge Theatre. He gives audience members a rare glimpse into the firsthand experiences of a soldier and the friendships he forges, the adventures he undertakes and the loss of fallen comrades. “Every soldier has a different story to tell,” he said. The audience will learn Holland’s tale and how he formed a troupe to entertain soldiers and the journey it took him on. Holland said he is able to transform himself to a younger version
of himself before the audience’s eyes by reliving those moments. One Man in His Time runs Sept. 28-29, Oct. 5-6, at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee Oct. 7 at 2 p.m. at Nanaimo Centre Stage, located at 25 Victoria Rd. Tickets are $20 for adults, $12 for students and are available online at http://westernedge.org or by calling 250-668-0991. Holland’s play is the first of three solo shows for Western Edge Theatre’s fall series. The series also includes The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, by Mike Daisey. Frank Moher performs on stage and leads the audience on a journey through the China to uncover dark truths about technology manufacturing, and in asides discusses the controversy of the play,

which involves the playwright fabricating some details. It runs Oct. 26-27, at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee Oct. 28 at 2 p.m. The last play in the series, Songs and Stories of Davy the Punk, is a one-man show performed by Bob Bossin. He delves into his father’s exploits in
the 1930s and ’40s and inside Toronto’s gambling world. Davy the Punk was a bookie who was tried in court in 1943, with the chief evidence in the trial being 54 phone lines running into his home. Audience members will also be treated to new Bossin songs that feature charac-
ters such as gambling czar Abe Orpen and race track regular Shnooky Schneider. Tickets for The Agony and the Ecstasy and Davy the Punk are $18 for adults and $10 for students. People can buy a series pass for $45 for all three shows, $25 for students.

Multicultural society’s art project explores issue of racism and diversity BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
The journey to community inclusion and awareness about racism could begin with a painter’s brush stroke. People who have been marginalized, dealt with racism or diversity issues are invited to participate in an art project created by the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society. “Art can be a very powerful tool for engagement,” said Samantha Letourneau, diversity coordinator for the multicultural society. “The art project provides the ability for the
community to explore issues, to voice concerns and to express the culture of diversity that exists in their community and create solutions together.” The Journey to Inclusion Project pairs nine visual artists with nine community members to work collaboratively to create art for an exhibition held at the Port Theatre March 21, 2013, which marks the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Letourneau said the exhibit will focus on how the community can move from racism and discrimination to an exclusive society. Three main themes are
Quickfacts ◆ JOURNEY TO INCLUSION PROJECT application forms are available to download at www. cvims.org/diversity-program/ embrace-bc/the-journey-toinclusion-project.
explored: racism and discrimination, a community transitioning from racism to inclusion, and images of an inclusive society. “We’re looking for the diversity that exists in our community,” she said.
The 18 participants will work collaboratively from October to March. Visual artists of various mediums interested in participating are asked to send digital samples of their work, a written commitment to working five hours per month until March with their community partner, evidence of their ability to work with diverse people and a curriculum vitae highlighting their professional experience as an artist. The project also seeks community participants who are willing to share their experiences of how they have dealt with racism, identity or diversity issues.
They aren’t required to have artistic experience but must be willing to make the same time commitment as artists. To apply please go to www. cvims.org/diversity-program/ embrace-bc/the-journey-toinclusion-project or pick up application forms at the multicultural society, Nanaimo Women’s Resource Society, Haven Society, Nanaimo Association for Community Living, Vancouver Island Vocational Rehabilitation Services or the Tillicum Lelum Health Centre. The application deadline is Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Series focuses on Island poets
Talented poets and writers with deep roots on Vancouver Island will share their inspiring stories during the eighth annual Poets on Campus series at Vancouver Island University. Author Maleea Acker opens the series Oct. 1 with readings from her first non-fiction book, Gardens Aflame: Garry Oak Meadows of B.C.’s South Coast, and a manuscript of poems, The Almonds in the Earth, which will be published in 2013. “In designing this year’s Poets on Campus series we thought it was time to hear from some of our poets with deep roots in our Island, who are establishing reputations as non-fiction writers, novelists, teachers, editors, journalists and travel writers,” said Marilyn Bowering, instructor in VIU’s creative writing and journalism department. “We have assembled a group of vibrant, exciting and intelligent writers. Each has found his or her way to balance a vocation as writer with the need to make a living and in some cases raise a family. It takes not only talent and courage to do this, but a certain kind of integrity. Maleea Acker, for example, is a model for – literally – what you can do in your own backyard for the environment.” G a r d e n s A fl a m e describes how Acker fell under the spell of the strange beauty woven by Garry oak trees, and the ecosystems they tower over until she decided to transform her backyard in Saanich into a small Garry oak meadow. She planted 21 trees, which caused consternation among some of her neighbours and city hall, bringing to a head “similar issues raised 150 years ago when Europeans first saw the open meadows of Southern Vancouver Island.” “Since I was researching the topic of restoration, I thought I should give it a try on my own property,” Acker said. “I wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get from the neighbours, and the level of support from the municipality, and what obstacles I’d run into.”
Gardens Aflame is a mixture of science, esthetics and philosophy. It goes into the historical and cultural significance of Garry oak meadows, what people are doing to restore them and challenges they face. “It was a great book to research,” said Acker. “I spoke to scientists on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, and along the Washington coast.” Acker said writing her first non-fiction book “provided a welcome break from the emotional intensity of writing poetry.” Although she hopes to write more non-fiction, Acker is a poet at heart. “I am similar perhaps to many poets,” she said. “Poetry chose me, I did not choose it. I am dragged kicking and screaming to the
page, but once there, I feel more alive than anywhere else on Earth.” Acker, a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists, has worked in a variety of cultural, political and environmental areas, writing and designing for social and arts organizations and teaching poetry at Camosun College. Her first book of poetry, The Reflecting Pool, was published by Pedlar Press in 2009. Her non-fiction and poetry has appeared in various journals and magazines in Canada and Mexico. Acker’s reading takes place in Building 365 (the log cabin) at 5 p.m. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. The Poets on Campus series continues with readings by celebrated authors Mathew Hoo-
ton on Oct. 29; John Barton and Yvonne Blomer on Nov. 26; Steven Price on Jan. 28; and writer Rhea Tregebov on March 11. “The purpose of the Poets on Campus series is to offer students, faculty and staff and the community an opportunity to be inspired by living literary writers of our day,” said Bowering. Hearing poems and other writing read out loud “infuses them with a whole different kind of energy,” Bowering added. “A good poem or story read out loud will sizzle in the ear and trail goose bumps down the arm. Hearing a poem or story read by the author gives a sense of what’s really important in the piece.” Fo r m o re i n fo rmation, please visit www.viu.ca/poetson campus.

Author details maritime history
Vancouver Island author Barry Gough’s book Juan de Fuca’s Straitt delves into the stories of a host of explorers who went in search of a waterway connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Canadian scientists are currently scouring this same waterway in search of ships that sunk while in search of Juan de Fuca’s fabled Northwest Passage. From Gough, an internationally recognized author and historian, is another riveting history of exploration on the high seas. The tale begins in sixteenthcentury Venice, when explorer Juan de Fuca relayed to English merchant Michael Lok a fantastic story of a marine passageway that connected the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans. This tale would be the catalyst for centuries of dreaming, and exacerbate the English and Spanish rivalry. The search for the fabled Northwest Passage inspired explorers to seek out fame, adventure, knowledge and riches. Gough delves into diplomatic records, narratives of explorers and court documents to illuminate the journeys of characters like Martin Frobisher, Francis Drake, James Cook and George Vancouver. A sea venture tied up with piracy, political loyalties and betrayals, all bound in a web of international intrigue, Juan de Fuca’s Strait is Gough’s contribution to the history of discovery on the
Documentary premiered A new documentary that re-frames childbirth as the most pressing global human rights issue is launching with hundreds of premieres all over the world on Thursday (Sept. 20). Freedom For Birth is a 60-minute campaigning documentary featuring leading birth experts and international human rights lawyers all calling for radical change to the world’s maternity systems. Each film screening is being organized by local birth campaigners. The Nanaimo screening begins at 6 p.m. at Harbourfront library. Admission is free.
Northwest coast. Gough won the John Lyman Book Award for best Canadian naval and maritime history and was shortlisted for the Nereus Writers’ Trust Prize for Non-Fiction for his previous book, Fortune’s a River. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and King’s College London, and has been awarded a Doctor of Letters for distinguished publications to Imperial and Commonwealth Literature. Gough discusses the book during a presentation at Harbourfront library Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. For more information, please call 250-753-1154.

From realism to abstraction, Sharon Stone has built up an impressive range of work exploring the natural world through an artist’s perspective. Her work will be on display at Gallery 223 next week (Sept. 22-30). Her collection titled the ‘Forest Series’ is reminiscent of stained glass in a church, evoking a sense of sanctuary and solitude. Her landscape and figure paintings, some of them award-winning, are equally well-explored and wellreceived. “My paintings are largely impressions of nature as reflected in colourful landscapes and waterscapes.

Barsby players could be top ’Dawgs I AA FOOTBALL team expected to contend.
The offensive line features Brenden Bruce, Ryan Stratton, Dekker, Tristan Slotte and others. DEFENCE The Bulldogs’ swarming D is led by defensive coordinator Larry Cooper. He demands that his guys “rally” on every tackle, he said, getting 11 helmets to the football. ◆ See ‘BARSBY’ /B3

THE NEWS BULLETIN
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Barsby Bulldogs tacklers including Kyle Vollet, left, and Ricky Orr, right, close in on Abbotsford Collegiate receiver Cody Lawlor during Friday’s exhibition game at Merle Logan Field. The regular season kicks off tomorrow (Sept. 21).
going to be physical and relentless,” Stevenson said. Here’s a look at the 2012 Barsby Bulldogs, who kick off the regular season Friday (Sept. 21) in North Vancouver against Carson Graham. OFFENCE The Bulldogs have such depth that many of their offensive players will be able to play only on that
side of the ball, a luxury in AA. It means that the ’Dawgs can go full-bore, every play. “We just keep beating up on them, we never stop,” said Ryan Dekker, Barsby lineman. “Our offensive motto is ‘chainsaw’ – we keep moving constantly. [Teams] won’t be able to hang with us.” Brody Taylor and Austin Lyle are the quarterbacking tandem.
In Barsby’s doublewing offence, its primary playmakers are its wingbacks. A ton of different guys will contribute there, including Brandon Parker, Duc Truong and Jacob Odynsky. Kyle Vollet, Shea and Ricky Orr will also line up as wingbacks. Frankie Shaw, Nick Pedersen and Justin Cook play fullback and Will Cook and Montana Mize are the tight ends.
Islanders rewriting playbook The NDSS Islanders are moving up in the world. Nanaimo District Secondary School’s varsity football team, champions of B.C.’s Tier 2 last year, move up this fall to AA varsity. The Isles didn’t have to go up a tier – it was a program decision, said coach Nate Stevenson. Tier 2 served its purpose for NDSS, he said, and it’s time for other schools to vie for that championship. “It did a lot, I feel, for the school and it also did a lot for the younger kids coming into school here,” Stevenson said. “Guys want to be a part of something like that.” And now the Isles are happy to be a part of the AA landscape. The opponents will be bigger and better, but not unbeatable, Stevenson stressed. “Those kids put their pants on, too,” he said. We don’t back down to anybody. Win or lose, we’ll play some football.” Here’s a look at the 2012 NDSS Islanders, who open the season Friday (Sept. 21) with a home game against the Argyle Pipers.
BY GREG SAKAKI
They may hail from a little high school in Harewood, but on the gridiron, these guys are no underdogs. The John Barsby Bulldogs AA varsity football team goes into the 2012 season among the favourites to win the B.C. title. Barsby has played in the last two Subway Bowl provincial championships, winning in 2010 and coming up a few yards short in 2011. “We all know where we want to go this season, and we all know how last season ended for a lot of us,” said Dexter Shea, who plays wingback and linebacker. “So it pushes us.” The Bulldogs don’t want to talk championship games at this time of year, though. Instead, they set their goals week by week. “You want to win it, but you’ve got to get there to even have that chance,” said Rob Stevenson, the team’s coach. So far this fall the ’Dawgs have looked like a contending team. They started the pre-season with a 40-36 loss to the defending AAA varsity champions, Mt. Doug, then shut out Abbotsford Collegiate 40-0. “We’ve definitely established what our identity is this year, and that’s

Clippers can’t wait to play Caps
I
BCHL TEAM faces rivals in Cowichan.
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Tomorrow’s hockey game is sure to have a whole bunch of onice collisions, and that suits the Nanaimo Clippers just fine. T h e c i t y ’s B . C . Hockey League team takes on the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday (Sept. 21) at Duncan’s Island Savings Centre. “It’s always been a
more difficult rink to play in,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “It’s a small sheet and things happen quickly in there.” The tighter confines of the building known as the Big Stick might lead to more bodychecking, but Vandekamp said he wants his team to play physical, regardless of the opponent or arena. “[We’ll] definitely try to open up with a little bit of physicality, get some space for some of our guys,” said Chris Rygus, Clippers defenceman.
“And limit mistakes and limit turnovers as much as possible because you want to be playing their end as opposed to your own end.” Fans in Duncan always bring their noisemakers to the game, and there’s a bell that sounds for every Capitals bodycheck. “I’ve heard a bit about it,” said Jayson Argue, Clippers goalie. “We don’t like losing to anybody, but especially when it’s a team like Cowichan, apparently it’s a pretty heated rivalry so it’s a little extra motivation.”

He won’t get rattled, as he’s no rookie when it comes to rivalry games. Argue recalled road trips last season in his Manitoba league, when his Swan Valley Stampeders travelled to play the Opaskwayak Cree Nation Blizzard. About 20 Blizzard die-hards would stand behind his net and bang moose bones against the boards. “They get after you pretty good,” he said. “I get a kick out of it and it keeps me relaxed.” GAME ON … The Clippers and Capitals face off at 7 p.m. … The Clips made a trade last week, sending forward Mason Blacklock to the Surrey Eagles for future considerations. Vandekamp said the move was strictly because of roster numbers. “Mason is a really, really good kid and a real hard-working guy and we really liked him here,” said the Clippers’ general manager. “I hope that he’ll be able to find a way to produce a bit more in his new home.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Barsby Bulldogs looking for week-to-week improvement
sports
Synchro club offers free trial The city’s synchronized swim club is extending an invitation to any youths who might like to get in synch. The Nanaimo Diamonds are participating in Sports Day in Canada by offering a free session on Wednesday (Sept. 26) from 4:30-6 p.m. at Beban Pool. Any girls or boys ages six and up with swimming experience can try out synchronized swimming with Diamonds coaches. To register, e-mail brendasmythe@shaw.ca. Sports Day in Canada is a project of ParticipAction, True Sport, CBC Sports and the B.C. Ministry of Health, to encourage community sport groups to raise their profiles. The City of Nanaimo’s parks and rec department is hosting events Sept. 29 at the Oliver Woods Community Centre. Parents and any children five and under can play various sports from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., followed by a session for kids from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Floor hockey for teens 13-18 goes from 1:30-2:30 p.m. followed by family pickleball from 2:30-3:30 p.m.
◆ From /B1 The D line sees Tyler Harvey, Justin Cook and Seth Amstutz on the ends and James Robinson, Joe Smith and James Manson at the defensive tackle positions.
Dexter Shea, Kyle Vollet, Jacob Odynsky and Chance MacKayTopley are some of the playmakers at linebacker. Free safety David Work leads the defensive backfield, which
also includes Ricky Orr, Shawn Arabsky and Shota Higuchi. SPECIAL TEAMS O dy n s k y i s t h e team’s kicker and he, Brandon Parker and Vollet return kicks.
OUTLOOK Coach Rob Stevenson said he’s interested to see how this year’s Bulldogs team improves as the season goes along. “Because the version that hopefully
gets into the playoffs may be one of our best ever,” he said. “This football team has the potential to rival the great ones we’ve had and surpass it. It has the potential – we’re not there yet.”
After Barsby’s game at Carson Graham, the team is on the road again the following week at Windsor, then plays the Nanaimo District Islanders at NDSS on Oct. 5. sports@nanaimobulletin.com TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Ma M rk r Wi Wilson, 40, 0 Hu H ds d on, NH N Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Ka K re rn Bra r un, 67, 7 Gla l ce Ba Bay, NS N For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Ma M ry r C. My Myrick, k 62 62, Ja J cks k on, M It is such a joy not having to use the CPA MS P P machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wa Wayne Burs r e, 63 63, Beamsvi v lle l , ON. N

I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Wa W ldn d er,r 44, Delia i , AB Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches.

On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky k Gerb r er,r 25 25, Dove v r,r OH Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Ric i hard r Gamez ez, 74 74, Sa S n Anto t nio, TX T God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker.

JIM KINNEAR/BLACK PRESS
Nanaimo District Islanders players Ben Lindstrom, left, Artie Wulf and Laine Palmberg tackle a South Delta ball carrier in a road game last week.
Isles will make it exciting ◆ From /B1 They came up with an old-school scheme called the triple option. “It’s high-risk, a lot of options, a lot of pitches, you’ve got to do reading on the fly when guys are coming hot and you’re amped up a bit,” said Nate Stevenson. Quarterback Eric Lindsay will lead the attack, distributing the ball to fullback Willy Curry and wingbacks Harb Thach and Dustin Wall. Receivers Artie Wulf, Brett Ablitt and Brennan Mattes are other playmakers on offence. The offensive line includes Peter Le Patezour at centre, flanked by Laine Palmberg, MacIntyre Barrera, Ben Lindstrom and Michael Reid. “We want to play ball-control offence and we’re getting there,” said Stevenson. “I like our power attack, I like our ground attack and we also have the ability to throw the football.”
DEFENCE Lindstrom and Le Patezour will be two of the leaders of the D in the linebacking corps, and Thach and Wall are outside linebackers. The D line consists of Curry, Palmberg, Barrera and Reid. Wulf, at safety, Ron Macdonald, Ablitt and Mattes comprise the group of defensive backs. SPECIAL TEAMS Mattes starts the season as placekicker, with Wall and Mattes returning kicks. GAME ON ND was originally slated to start the season Friday (Sept. 21) against the Argyle Pipers in North Vancouver, but benefited from scheduling conflicts with officials and now their opener will be a home game at Nanaimo District Secondary School Field. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Raiders face stiffest test of season so far CJFL TEAM will visit Langley this Saturday.
I
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The league’s most evenly matched teams finally get a chance to try to settle the score. The V.I. Raiders (5-0-1) and the Langley Rams (5-0-1) face one another this Saturday (Sept. 22) in the Fraser Valley in a game to determine first place in the B.C. Football Conference. The teams have collided once so far in 2012, a game at Caledonia Park that ended in a 31-31 tie.
Ever since, the Raiders have been in an unfamiliar position – second place in the standings, due to point differential. They’ve been dying for another chance at top spot. “The challenge is going to be huge for us, but we’re up for it,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. “If you want to say you want to try to win the national championship, it’s games like this that are going to give you the chance to do it.” Both the Raiders and the Rams have improved since their last meeting. Blokker noted that the Raiders have brought in new additions to the defence and moved guys into different spots that are
perhaps a better fit. Jordan Yantz, V.I. quarterback, said his team has also improved its rushing offence and can now bring a more balanced attack to face the Rams. “We’re both going to be higher-calibre teams than we were before, so I’m really excited about it,” Yantz said. “It’s going to be a battle, it’s not just going to be a blowout.” The Rams have numerous weapons on offence, most notably receivers Nick Downey and Malcolm Williams and running backs Daniel Xavier and Kyle Albertini. Langley’s defence is led by DB Jordan Linnen and former Raiders D lineman Evan Foster.
“A n d t h e y ’ r e w e l l coached,” said Blokker. “So if they see you cheating, they’ll come back at you right away in a different way.” It will take a focused, four-quarter effort to win, said the V.I. coach. “Our attention to detail is going to be pressed because of the type of game we’re going to be in,” said Blokker. “And also first place is on the line now and when that happens you’ve got to be wanting and willing to play every play.” GAME ON … The Raiders and Rams kick off at 4 p.m. at McLeod Stadium. There will be a live webcast at www.viraiders.ca. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Yantz sets record
JORDAN YANTZ
Jordan Yantz reached yet another mark that solidifies his status as an all-time great. The Raiders’ quarterback threw for 268 yards in Saturday’s 44-28 win over the Okanagan Sun, lifting his career passing yards total to 9,405. That surpasses the former Canadian Junior Football League record of 9,370 set by John Makie of the Regina Thunder and Victoria Rebels between 2001-04. “I never knew that I was in reach,” said Yantz. “If I try not to worry about those things as much, it seems like they keep on falling into place for me.”
Redmen lose by one point The Nanaimo Redmen, coming off a one-point loss, feel like they could be on the cusp of turning things around. The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League midget team (0-3) lost 22-21 to the North Surrey Bears on Sunday on the mainland. “It was by far the best game we’ve played so far this year, the most consistent…” said Sean Roden, coach of the Redmen. “There was more positives to take out of this game than either of the first two.” Running back Devon Carlie scored a 10-yard touchdown and quarterback Dylan Tucker scored a TD on a two-yard sneak and also threw a 35-yard TD to Payton Paladini. Matt Vandervelde was the player of the game on defence. GAME ON … The Redmen midget team hosts the North Delta Longhorns (2-1) on Sunday (Sept. 23) in a 4 p.m. kickoff at Pioneer Park.

Chevrolet Orlando gets people moving BY JIM ROBINSON hevrolet is back in the seven-seat people mover business with the 2012 Orlando. While considered a crossover-utility vehicle, it’s really a station wagon, in my opinion. Unlike its competitors, the Orlando has a theatre-style seating arrangement with three rows of seats, along with a sizable cargo area and flexible storage solutions. In spite of the sweeping roofline, the engineers and designers were able to raise the third row of seats offering passengers an improved view both forwards and to the side. With a wide variety of seating configurations, Chevrolet claims the Orlando can be adjusted into one of the most voluminous vehicles in its class when it comes to cargo

capacity at 1,594 litres. Power is a 2.4-litre, direct fuel injection four-cylinder engine producing 174 horsepower. There will be three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ. A sixspeed manual is standard on the LS and LT with a six-speed automatic optional on the LS and standard on the LTZ. Fuel consumption is rated at 10.1 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 6.7L/100km on the highway for the manual. Standard equipment on all models includes power windows, locks, remote keyless entry, electronic stability control system and six airbags. The interior features a twin cockpit look inspired by the Corvette and a centre console with ambient blue lighting. One of the more interesting

aspects is a storage cubbie hidden behind the front fascia of the radio and within easy reach of the both the driver and passenger. It is large enough for items such as an MP3 player, sunglasses and
wallets. On some models, there will be a USB port for using or re-charging an MP3 player or iPod when on the move. Fitting seven is possible, but just. The brochure shows three kids in soccer uniforms in the
second row seat but when it comes to adults, two is more like it. As for the third row, it is also meant for primarily small fry and I suspect in most cases it will be folded flat. ◆ See ‘CROSSOVER’ /B16

The Nissan Terra SUV concept features a proposed 4X4 fuel cell electric powertrain and an electric propulsion system, which powers the front wheels, similar to the Leaf.
not a technical exhibit, its proposed 4x4 fuel cell electric powertrain is far from imaginary. Powering the front wheels is the electric propulsion system currently featured in the Nissan Leaf. In each back wheel, providing allwheel power as needed, is an in-wheel electric motor.
As no drive shafts are required to power the rear wheels, there is no hump in the floor or on the underbody. This allows for the flat trunk floor and the underside bodypan. Under the hood is ample space for Nissan’s hydrogen fuel cell stack: a flat, highly
compact unit that features a power density of 2.5 kilowatts per litre. The latest in a series of Nissan fuel cells since 1996, the stack costs just onesixth of its 2005 predecessor as the need for expensive precious metals has been slashed to one-quarter of the previous level.
backyard into an animated open-air cinema. With ample space for two people and a cargo area under the glass tailgate, it is also a communication concept that only requires a blank wall for a spontaneous cinematic experience. The media player of the projector integrated in the front hood is operated via bluetooth from an iPhone. A high-quality sound system with additional loudspeakers in the ventilation openings behind the doors enables the drive-in cinema experience to be perfected for friends as well. The Smart Forstars shares the main features of its body with the Smart for-us, which caused a stir at the Detroit Motor Show at the start of the year.

The electrically driven Smart Forstars is a coupe with room for two people and plenty of storage space. Its name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the glass roof above the passengers that gives a clear view of the starry sky. The Smart Forstars will be premiered at the Paris Motor Show next week and uses the 60 kilowatt magneto-electric motor from the new Smart Brabus electric drive version of the Smart.

CORRECTION NOTICE: Please note the following correction to the Kia Canada Free Standing Insert which ran in your local paper the week of September 6th, 2012. It showed that Active Front Heated Seats came as a standard feature in every Rio 4-Door and Rio 5-Door. We regret that this feature is only applicable to the 2013 Rio 4 LX+ (RO744C) and Rio5 LX+ (RO754C). We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. KIA Canada Inc.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Rainbow Appliance Rebuilders for fixing my leaky fridge.

A BEEF F to whoever is in charge of the display at Beban Park on Bowen Road. How much longer are you going to subject the city to looking at a scarecrow that is missing its head? It's been like that for almost two months now.

A GREEDY BEEF F to a local gas station for being the first one to put up prices and last one to put them down. You lost several customers for that reason. A BEEF F to the person who ran over Jim’s cat on Sixth Street. Hope karma gets you. A BEEF F to people who never have anything positive to say.

A BEEF F to news editors who find it necessary to send reporters and meteorologists to cover oncoming hurricanes. It’s as if the editors don’t think we’ll believe there is a hurricane if we don’t see people being blown to bits by it. Why can’t editors show stock film of the coming of a storm, then have live coverage of the aftermath?
BOUQUETS OF CAT TAILS to Dianna, who has generously given her time over many years to write a weekly newsletter for the Whiner's hiking group. Her newsletter contains valuable information for hikers and dancers in Nanaimo and the photo journal of the Whiner's exploits is always great fun to view – thanks Jim. Dianna: what you do means so much to so many, even those who are not well enough to go with you on your adventures.
A BEEF. During the Nanaimo Dragonboat Festival, loudspeakers were set up to call the races, which was good. However, the day before the races, someone was loudly blasting pop music and radio commercials on them, drowning me out as I was busking at Swy-a-lana Lagoon. Buskers rely on events such as this to eat and survive.
A BOUQUET to Brad and Doug for helping me recently when my scooter was giving me a bad time. They picked up my scooter, put it into the back of their truck, put me in the front, then took me home. It is wonderful to have helpful people in our town. I’m proud to live here. A STINKY BEEF F to a company for ignoring so many complaints about your noisy young tenants. You had to wait for them to give their notice instead. I will never do business with you, nor recommend you to others. A BEEF F about speeders, particularly in my trailer park. The signs are posted and we have asked so many times with the same response. Will it take a fatality before someone gets a clue? The tombstone mentality has to end. This is supposed to be a retirement park, not a memorial garden.
A BEEF F to the person who destroys roadside memorials. Ten have gone missing in a short time in the Cassidy area. When your day comes, I hope you get treated no better. A PILE OF BEEF F to thrift stores that are overpricing their donated items. Don't you realize that it irritates the public, who want to support your business, but feel that your prices are too high? In times of hardship, please drop your prices.

Gravelle, Henri Omer (Hank) Born in Fraser Mills to Albert and Amanda Gravelle, Hank passed away September 12, 2012 at Nanaimo Seniors Village. He attended St. Anne’s Convent New Westminster in his early years. After graduation he proceeded to UBC where he obtained a BA degree. Later he arrived in Nanaimo and found employment at Harmac. Some years later he attended UVic to complete his professional teacher’s degree, and then launched a teaching career in Nanaimo where he taught high school French and English. A passion for languages led Hank to SFU, where he earned a Master’s degree in linguistics. Hank was a proliďŹ c reader and was known for his analytical mind, sharp wit and great knowledge of history.

uncle and brother-in-law. We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds. The days we do not think of you are very hard to ďŹ nd. Each morning when we wake we know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still ow. What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can ďŹ ll. In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.
We love and miss you, Mum, Dad, Lisa, Candice, Kris, Nickolas, Matthew and Owen
